About Us
Mission: 

Miracles in Action empowers Guatemalans living in extreme poverty to help themselves through sustainable projects that improve education, nutrition, vocational skills, and create jobs.

Programs: 

Miracles in Action provides income to many Guatemalan women by selling beaded jewelry, keychains, and textiles — all handmade in indigenous Mayan communities where jobs are scarce and wages low. The sale of handicrafts provides the Mayan women an opportunity to earn an income from their home while taking care of their children.  We go beyond fair trade by giving to our artisans “bonuses” like water filters, solar lamps, school supplies for their children, and workshops in women empowerment.

Why Work For Us?: 

For over 12 years, Miracles in Action, Inc. (a 501c3 nonprofit) has developed and grown a successful handicraft sales business that supports disadvantaged Mayan artisans earning “beyond fair trade” income, and raises funds for our charity work in Guatemala.  You can be a part of our team at sales events, where we share the story of the artisans being able to feed and educate their children from handicraft sales.  Beaded handicrafts are so beautiful, that they “sell themselves” at local farmers markets, arts and craft fairs, home parties, church bizarre, and presentations or speaking events.  Additionally, products are sold online retail and wholesale, and orders fulfilled and shipped from our Naples, FL office.  Join our giving team and make a difference for Mayan women and their children.
